That said, Colorado isn’t quite a Crazy Horse classic. Half a century later, Young and his longtime comrades are still committed to making a raggedly glorious racket. Basking in these pure, elemental six-string vibrations, backed by the simple and soulful groove of the Horse, is Colorado’s primary pleasure. There’s boundless strength in there, but vulnerability, too. It’s incredibly dry, with no FX to hide behind, right in your face, full of life. Amazingly, three out of the four musicians who made that epochal 1969 LP are still onboard – and together they still sound like no one else.Īccording to a recent Wired feature by Jesse Jarnow, Neil’s amp setup is exactly the same on Colorado as it was on Nowhere.

But we did get another Neil Young and Crazy Horse album, Colorado, released a little over 50 years after Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere introduced the world to this extraordinary pairing.

So we didn’t exactly get Year of the Horse, part II in 2019.
